So because of THIS thread I made a choice at the fork in the road. My cousin was really pushing for the Village but I held my ground.
The choice was ANCORMAN and that was one funny movie with more cameos than I could count. Slapstick, silly and lines that seemed to come out of nowhere (or were ad libbed) just made me laugh for an hour and 45 minutes. THANK YOU, PEOPLE OF THE ORG | |

They wouldn't have stood a chance if they'd tried to invade Greater Manchester in the U.K. - because it rains every fucking day! Crazy... Actually, the aliens were only suppossed to be on earth to harvest humans for food. They weren't planning on becoming permanent residents. A subplot was removed where it was noted that it wasn't raining anywhere on earth since they appeared, thus leading to the conclusion that they were controlling the weather. Controlling the weather, sure...but were they controlling the sprinkler systems all over the world, too??....I mean, it's a pretty lame race of aliens if the whole lot of them can be defeated by a 12 year old kid with a garden hose. And isn't like 90% of the Earth covered in water??...If you're looking for food, would you pick a restaurant where 90% of the stuff you could come in contact with would send you to a horrible death? I don't know about you, but I wouldn't travel thousands of lightyears, fight my way thru killer sharks, raving mad serial killers, nuclear bomb test sites and drugged-up gang members carrying uzis just to grab a cheeseburger....not to mention that our bodies are like 75% water, aren't they??... And the signs themselves, the crop circles in the cornfields...were they ever explained in the movie?? Where they "signs" and instructions/directions to aliens as to where to go or when to attack? If so, then wouldn't the fact that we can make fake crop circles with stunning ease kinda throw a huge-ass wrench into their plans??...Grab a bunch of drunk frat boys, some rope and about a dozen 2x4's, and the aliens wouldn't know WHICH "signs" to pay attention to... Alien #1: "I swear, dude, that last crop circle said make a left at Pluto...." Alien #2: "What the....give me that map!!" "Signs" sucked...good direction, horrid story.

What if it was a really GOOD cheeseburger!? And the signs themselves, the crop circles in the cornfields...were they ever explained in the movie?? Where they "signs" and instructions/directions to aliens as to where to go or when to attack?

I was thinking that too while I was watching. Just alter them a bit. Then sit back and laugh at the stupid aliens when they stop and ask for directions!

lillith said: i wouldn't say it was a total waste of time
 I would! Anyway, I saw it last night with my family, and in the theater, some girl's cell phone rang. She picked it up and proceded to talk on it for at LEAST a half hour! Who does that? No one told her to shut up, either! I would have, but I was on the other side of the theater (and could still hear her yakin' away!)  | |

Spoiler...
Has anyone here read either The Giver, Gathering Blue, or The Messenger by Lois Lowry? I guessed the ending to The Village well before the climax because the plot was so similar to these novels. Anyone else agree? "She made me glad to be a man" | |

like "signs, it's FULL of gaping logic based plot holes that make me despise it. unfortuately, i think "the sixth sense" might have been a flash in the pan Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

This movie was fucking STUPID!!! Both me and my girlfriend were doing Mystery Science Theater by the first hour. Shamaylan has made his first, bona-fide DUD! | |

 somewhat of a let down that movie sucked I really like spicy food. I mostly put Jalapenos on a lot of my food.

garganta said: I think M. Night Shyamalan is a good director but he needs
to quit the writing and hire a good screenwriter for a change I like his stories (except for that "Stuart Little" children shit...) But I finally got to watch it today... And well, even though it was pretty easy to figure out it still wasn't as lame and predictable as "The Sixth Sense"... Seems to me this Shyamalan guy only got it right with "Unbreakable", (the only movie of his I didn't figure out even though it was extremely obvious... Go figure...) that was a great movie... This was just a nice and easy sunday afternoon movie like "Signs"... Nothing special... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O
